I couldn't see spending money on letters, so i watched a few you tube video on how to paint raised letters on tires.
The first this is clean, clean. clean.get the oils and road off.
Then you want a dry surface, and then sand the areas you want to do, I used 200 to scuff it up
pick a color I went with withe, went to Home Depot and bought

just remember oil based
then just follow the outline of the letters
it will take more then 1 coat, i have 3 on, they look good and white.
once they dry you should be able to shine them up as usual with tire dressing. I only tire dress the trailer tires.
I have red withe and blue lights that go on the valve stems so with the chrome and the white they should look pretty good at night
Have fun if you make a mistake dont worry you can wipe it away or use a q tip to get in close to clean up, dont ask how i know lol
